ADHD is finally after years of trying to figure something out, going “oh my god it’s so simple, all I need to do is…” and then POOF 2 other thoughts pop up and you’re back to square one.

Created my first Glaze app which allows you to quickly search for and insert SF Symbols. Great for iOS/macOS designers/developers. www.glaze.app/app/sf-symbo...

Nothing against the US, but for tonight: Scars and stripes, let’s go Belgium!! 🇧🇪 🍟 🧇 🍫 🍺
Being bed/couch ridden all week, I decided to put some more work in this app idea I had during Config. It’s basically a private and automated version of Gowalla, inspired by the Moves app (for those who remember).
Beautifully executed "non-work" site by @maxvoltar.be - maxvoltar.com #noteworthy

Ahead of next week’s excitement, I just pushed a new website live. Introducing: The non-work. maxvoltar.com
iOS has always been humble. Groundbreaking, but humble. Except for iOS 7 and iOS/macOS 26, both absolutely dripping with executive ego.
My favorite (underrated) font right now: At Umami. I've designed keycaps with it, used it for branding, heck it's currently the font I use on my ereader since it's so pleasant to look at. arillatype.studio/font/at-umami
At Umami — Font — Arillatype.Studio®
At Umami is a savoury rounded sans-serif font that adds depth and dimension to your designs.

Brussels (stop #2 on the Fine Specimens book tour) was incredible! Thanks so much to @waterstones.bsky.social for hosting us, Paddy for leading our conversation, and everyone who came (especially @maxvoltar.be, @drbparsons.bsky.social, Danny Calders, @matratype.bsky.social, and Kaat Vandenbroeck).
I love the iPhone camera’s portrait mode, but feel like it’s a bit aggressive with the depth of field. However, opening the photo in edit mode and dialing it back to f8 usually results in something looking like it was shot with proper glass.
We live in the age of personal, atomic software, often even ephemeral.
Had a lot of fun designing some alternate app icons for @glass.photo, all done in @figma.com Draw! Read more here: glass.photo/highlights/a...
Kicked off a reading spree on Christmas and just finished my 13th book (Dungeon Crawler Carl and Bobiverse series). Forced me to significantly reduce my compulsive after-work creative endeavors and gather inspiration and perspective.
Gathered all of my non-work work in one place (to turn it into a website), and had AI review it. Ngl this is going on my LinkedIn. “You design objects people want to hold, and your aesthetic lives at the intersection of Swiss precision and skate-shop energy.”
Holy hell why would anyone want an Android-based ereader?? Got the Boox Go 7 and sending it right back. The software is constantly fighting the operating system and the thing needs to boot every time you pick it up. My 8y old Kobo Aura One blows this thing out of the water.
My “DESIGN” design is now available on a beanie over at @cottonbureau.com! cottonbureau.com/p/48UKM7/bea...
